In der neuen Folge von Firlefanz und Zaubertrunken nehmen euch Tobi und Birk wieder mit auf eine abwechslungsreiche Reise durch persönliche Erlebnisse, spannende Fragen und kuriose Entdeckungen. Tobi berichtet ausführlich von seiner Reise durch Frankreich. Dabei war er unter anderem in Nantes, Rennes und Paris unterwegs und hat dort nicht nur die Mona Lisa besucht, sondern auch viele besondere Eindrücke gesammelt. Birk war zeitgleich auf Sylt beim Familienwochenende und erzählt von seinen Eindrücken der Nordseeinsel sowie vom Zaunbau auf dem Campingplatz, der für einige Herausforderungen sorgte. Im Bildungsauftrag der Woche geht Tobi einer ganz besonderen Alltagsfrage auf den Grund, nämlich warum Mützen eigentlich einen Bommel oben drauf haben. Danach sprechen die beiden über die spontanen Fragen, bei denen es diesmal unter anderem um unvergessliche Fußballspiele geht, um Gänsehautmomente im Stadion, um die Entscheidung zwischen dem Beherrschen aller Sprachen oder dem Spielen aller Musikinstrumente sowie um die Frage, wie viele Länder der Welt sie bereits besucht haben. Bei den Empfehlungen der Woche stellen sie ein finnisches Knäckebrot mit dem Namen Finn Crisp vor und Tobi bringt ein geniales Spray für Kleidung mit, das sich besonders für Reisen als absoluter Gamechanger entpuppt. Außerdem sprechen sie über ihre Aufgabe der Woche, bei der sie blind etwas zeichnen mussten. Ob Tobi wohl erraten kann, was Birk da aufs Papier gebracht hat? Natürlich kommt auch das Thema Essen nicht zu kurz, denn beide erzählen von Gerichten, die sie kürzlich zum ersten Mal probiert haben. Am Ende der Folge landen wie immer zwei neue Songs auf der gemeinsamen Playlist Firlesounds. Wir bedanken uns bei unseren Partnern vom Radio Anmacha und dem Förderadio für eure Unterstützung und sagen Danke, dass unsere Show in eurem Radio läuft!

Pour la première fois à Paris est exposé un morceau du Vishnou couché du Mébon occidental. Une statue de plus de cinq mètres de longueur ainsi que certains de ses morceaux. Des pièces qui ont été longtemps séparées et qui sont rassemblées pour l'exposition «Bronzes Royaux d'Angkor, un art du divin». Cet événement rassemble aussi plus de 200 artéfacts de l'art Khmer. À la veille de la nuit européenne des Musées, on a choisi de pousser la porte du musée Guimet, le musée national des arts asiatiques qui proposera demain une programmation spéciale tournée vers l'art et la sculpture du Cambodge. Et pour cause : Guimet abrite depuis quelques semaines l'exposition Bronzes royaux d'Angkor, un art du divin avec en vedette -s'il est permis de parler ainsi d'une divinité - le grand Vishnou du Mebone. Un bronze monumental qui a fait le voyage de Pnom Penh à Paris il y a un an pour y être analysé, restauré et donc aujourd'hui présenté au public. Certains parlent de lui comme de la «Joconde du Cambodge» pour attester de son importance dans la statuaire khmère.

Si tu observes attentivement la Joconde, le célèbre tableau de Léonard de Vinci exposé au Louvre, un détail intrigue immédiatement : elle n'a ni sourcils ni cils. Un visage d'une précision incroyable, un regard presque vivant… mais un front totalement nu. Comment expliquer cette absence ?Une mode de la Renaissance ?Pendant longtemps, on a pensé que l'absence de sourcils était simplement liée à la mode de l'époque. Au début du XVIe siècle, en Italie, certaines femmes aristocrates s'épilaient les sourcils (et parfois la racine des cheveux) pour dégager le front, considéré alors comme un signe de beauté et de noblesse. Selon cette hypothèse, Mona Lisa (ou Lisa Gherardini, si l'on en croit la thèse majoritaire) aurait pu suivre cette tendance esthétique.Mais cette explication ne tient pas totalement : d'autres portraits de femmes de la même époque montrent clairement des sourcils, même fins ou discrets. Et Léonard de Vinci, connu pour son obsession du réalisme, aurait-il vraiment volontairement omis un tel détail ?Une disparition progressiveL'explication la plus crédible aujourd'hui repose sur l'histoire matérielle du tableau. La Joconde a plus de 500 ans, et au fil des siècles, elle a été soumise à des restaurations, nettoyages et vernissages qui ont pu altérer les détails les plus fins.Une étude scientifique menée par le spécialiste Pascal Cotte, en 2004, à l'aide d'une technologie de réflectographie multispectrale, a révélé qu'à l'origine, Léonard avait bien peint des sourcils et des cils, très fins et délicats. Mais ces détails auraient disparu avec le temps, en raison de l'usure naturelle de la couche picturale ou de restaurations trop agressives. En somme, les sourcils étaient là, mais ils se sont effacés au fil des siècles.Un effet renforçant le mystèreL'absence de sourcils contribue aussi, paradoxalement, au mystère et à l'ambiguïté du visage de la Joconde. Son expression indéfinissable, ce mélange de sourire et de neutralité, est renforcé par ce manque de lignes faciales qui encadreraient normalement le regard. Ce flou contribue au caractère intemporel et énigmatique du tableau, qui fascine depuis des siècles.En résumé : la Joconde avait probablement des sourcils, peints avec la finesse propre à Léonard de Vinci. Mais le temps, les restaurations et les vernis les ont effacés. Ce détail oublié est devenu un élément clé de son mystère. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

This week on The Creep Dive, we unpack one of the most absurdly chill art heists in history: the day the Mona Lisa disappeared from the Louvre... and no one even noticed until the next day. No alarms. No chaos. Just one little man, one white jumpsuit, and a very unbothered plumber.But that's not all. We also dive into the jaw-dropping story of Carol Howe—a high-society debutante turned full-blown white supremacist turned double agent for the U.S. government. Her undercover work inside a violent cult may have exposed one of America's deadliest domestic terror plots… and then she vanished. Until now.Oh, and someone stole a six million dollar golden toilet.Love this chaos?

Our latest interview with Robert Edward Grant reveals a new discovery at the intersection of Metatron's Cube, the Vitruvian man, and the Last Supper Painting by Leonardo da Vinci. What does all of this mean for the ancient past and future of humanity? What encrypted messages were left behind to us from the polymaths that came before? We explore the significance of Orion in relation to time and space, the divine game of life or simulation, and the hidden messages within pyramids and ancient myths. In this podcast, we delve into the concept of miracles and synchronicity, emphasizing the importance recognizing the patterns around us. We further explore the nature of time, reality, and the call to authenticity, culminating in a powerful message about embracing one's divinity and the transformative power of love.Robert Edward Grant is the best-selling author of PHILOMATH, ‘POLYMATH' and ‘NEUROMINED'.

C.S. Lewis writes that. “What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.” Elizabeth shares multiple stories and a number of visuals, as well as her own thoughts on perspective and how our perspective shapes what we THINK and what we DO. She offers two practical ways to become more intentional about broadening our perspective. And we will each be left to discover whether we have the mindset of a SOLDIER or a SCOUT.

It's the portrait of Gina Rinehart that launched 1,000 memes, went viral globally and became Australia's Mona Lisa. But it's also a symbol of how wealth intersects with other areas of life, including art and sport. How does Rinehart use her money to control her image – and what would she rather you don't see? This episode of Gina is about power and control, and the colonial history of Australia. It contains references to outdated offensive language and events that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may find distressing. It also contains the names of Indigenous Australians who have died. Listen with care

Leonardo Da Vinci started his artistic journey at the age of 14, beginning as a studio boy to Andrea del Verrocchio. Verrocchio taught Leo the ropes in sculpting, painting, casting, leather work, amongst other things, until Da Vinci stepped in to paint a couple angels in a mostly complete "The Last Baptism". Verrocchio looked at his work, looked at Da Vinci's and legend has it he set down his brush for good at that point, seeing himself surpassed already by Da Vinci's talent. Achieving the status of Master at age 20, Da Vinci would embark upon a lifetime of creating Art, developing machines and mechanical theories, studying and documenting human anatomy, building weapons and more. The very definition of a Renaissance Man in every way, join us as we go deep into Da Vinci. Support the show

Elaine Sciolino has one mantra: "Never go to the Louvre on an empty stomach or with a full bladder." The former Paris bureau chief of The New York Times has written a guide filled with her best advice for enjoying the world's most-visited museum. Her new book, Adventures in the Louvre, is part journalism, part memoir and part art history. In today's episode, Sciolino speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about the contested origins of the museum's name, the staff's love-hate relationship with the Mona Lisa, and why some Louvre visitors might feel underwhelmed.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What makes people want to go to museum? How can they ensure they still remain relevant? I spend a lot of my time in museums.  They inspire me, inform me and put me into mindsets I wouldn't otherwise be in.  So I wanted to learn more about them.Episode Summary On this episode, I sit down with Matthew McNerney, Chief Creative Officer of Luci Creative, to explore the hidden psychology behind museum design. Matthew has worked on everything from the Lego House in Denmark to presidential libraries, science museums, and even the NASCAR Hall of Fame.Together, we dive into the ways museum spaces are meticulously crafted to shape how we learn, feel, and interact with history, culture, and ideas. We also discuss the challenges museums face today—from declining visitor numbers to evolving audience expectations—and what it takes to design experiences that are both educational and entertaining.Along the way, Matthew shares fascinating insights from his career, from how a single professor changed the trajectory of his life to the unexpected lessons learned from working on hospital play spaces. If you've ever been inspired by a museum visit or wondered why some exhibits engage while others fall flat, this conversation is for you.Guest Biography: Matthew McNerney Matthew McNerney is the Chief Creative Officer at Luci Creative, a museum and brand experience design firm that works at the intersection of curiosity and change. His work spans a vast array of projects, from designing experiences for the Lego House in Billund, Denmark, to working on presidential libraries, science museums, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Matthew's career in museum design began in an unexpected way — he originally considered becoming a wedding designer before a professor introduced him to the world of exhibition design.Since then, he has spent over 20 years in the field, crafting experiences that spark curiosity and create lasting impressions. His work is deeply influenced by behavioral science, storytelling, and the psychology of engagement, all of which help him transform physical spaces into immersive learning environments.Beyond museums, Matthew has also worked on brand experiences, including designing retail environments for New Balance and flagship stores for Tiffany & Co. His expertise lies in creating multisensory experiences that connect people with content in compelling ways. AI-Generated Timestamped Summary[00:00:00] Introduction[00:01:00] Introducing Matthew McNerney and his work in museum design[00:02:00] How Matthew got into museum design—pivoting from wedding planning[00:06:00] The role of museums in shaping collective memory and conversatio[00:08:00] How museums balance education and entertainment[00:11:00] The variety of projects Matthew has worked on, from LEGO to NASCAR[00:14:00] The complexity of designing exhibits that engage diverse audiences[00:17:00] Museums as the most trusted institutions—but with declining attendance[00:19:00] Competing for attention: Museums vs. other forms of entertainment[00:24:00] The challenges of working with subject-matter experts and overcoming "the curse of passion"[00:29:00] The Mona Lisa effect—why some artworks become pilgrimage sites[00:32:00] Designing for different visitor experiences and expectations[00:37:00] Using behavioral science to map visitor engagement strategies[00:40:00] The hidden barriers that stop people from visiting museums[00:45:00] The challenge of curating history while staying objective[00:50:00] Creating curiosity: Making museums a launchpad for deeper exploration[00:53:00] How Lego taught Matthew a lesson about designing for engagement[00:55:00] Gamifying museum experiences—how the Cleveland Museum of Art makes learning fun[00:57:00] The risks and security challenges of modern museum spaces[01:00:00] Matthew's favorite museum recommendations[01:02:00] Where to find Matthew's work and final thoughtsLinks & ReferencesLuci Creative – https://lucicreative.com/Matthew McNerney's Website – https://matthewmcnerney.com/Lego House, Billund, Denmark – https://www.legohouse.com/Tenement Museum, New York – https://www.tenement.org/Micropia, Amsterdam – https://www.micropia.nl/en/Cleveland Museum of Art – ArtLens Exhibit – https://www.clevelandart.org/artlens-galleryPrevious episode of the show featuring Professor Tom Schössler talking about museum innovation - https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/professor-tom-schossler-on-deploying/

In der heutigen Folge besprechen wir wieder eine neue Single von Hobi - diesmal geht es um 'Mona Lisa'. Auch wenn wir den coolen Vibe des Songs und Musikvideos mögen, sind wir nicht wirklich begeistert von den Lyrics, da wir von BTS eigentlich mehr "Tiefe" gewohnt sind (full-on rant following haha). Was den Sound angeht, fehlt uns teilweise auch der "typische" Hobi Sound. Was ist eure Meinung hierzu? Folgt uns gerne auf Twitter und Instagram.

When Winnie Wong first saw Dafen Oil Painting Village in 2006, it was nothing like she'd imagined. The Chinese village was known for mass producing copies of Western art. She'd read about it in The New York Times, which described a kind of compound where thousands of artists painted replicas of famous artworks, like da Vinci's Mona Lisa or van Gogh's Starry Night, for European and U.S. hotels and condos.“We had an expectation, which was that there would be this giant factory,” said Wong, a professor of rhetoric at UC Berkeley. “And in this factory, there would be these painters working in an assembly line fashion: One person would paint the rocks, and one person would paint the trees, and one person would paint the sky.”But when she arrived in the small gated village, what she saw surprised her. In 2013, she published van Gogh on Demand: China and the Readymade, a book about her six years of research in Dafen and how it forever changed the way she thinks about art and authenticity and the nature of creativity.See more artwork and photos of Dafen from 2015, when Wong and architecture professor Margaret Crawford took a group of graduate students on a 14-day trip to the Pearl River Delta region to study urban art villages.Listen to the episode, read the transcript and see more photos on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo by José Joaquin Figueroa.This year on Berkeley Voices, we're exploring the theme of transformation.

The episode where Boydston brings us some pleasant true crime that involves the stealing of the Mona Lisa. Much like Nicholas Cage stealing the Declaration of Independence (we keep telling him to STOP IT), a mustachioed man stole the Mona Lisa in 1911. This not only made the painting famous - because nobody appreciated her before, okay?! - but sparked a two year search with some famous suspects. We love a good art con story, and we love giving nicknames to Da Vinci (spoiler alert, it's Nard Dog). Shenanigans ensued in this episode and we aren't even sorry. www.thetipsyghost.comFind us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TikTok @thetipsyghost.Email us your stories at thetipsyghost@gmail.comShow your support when you subscribe, leave a great review & give us a 5 star rating—it really helps

The Louvre is among the largest, most-visited, and best-known museums in the world, and for nearly too many reasons to count. It's home to some of the most celebrated works of art, from the Venus de Milo to the Mona Lisa. Its blended contemporary and historic architecture is astounding. And it also has a truly formidable past, stretching back through time, well before the building became a museum in 1793. An institution and collection that has been a quiet witness to so much history and change is bound to have stories to tell. Elaine Sciolino, contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for the New York Times, has captured many of these stories in her newest book, Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum, which is out this April with Norton & Company. Sciolino is acclaimed for her chronicles of French history, and she's the author of the New York Times bestseller The Only Street in Paris, The Seine, and La Seduction. And at the Louvre, she spoke to everyone, from the guards to the lead curators, and received unprecedented access to rooms I didn't even know existed. Artnet's Senior Editor, Kate Brown, caught up with Elaine, who is based in Paris, to discuss the enigmatic and ever-enchanting Louvre, and what she learned from her exploration of its many halls, backrooms, and basements.

Hayley covers the first (and last) queen regnant of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Then Katja covers Michel Lotito the French entertainer who ate an entire airplane. Lastly Alec covers the most famous painting in the world and the history behind Lisa herself and artist Leonardo Da Vinci.

Guest: Stephen Jay Schwartz, Website | https://www.stephenjayschwartz.com/_____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society Podcast & Audio Signals PodcastWebsite: https://www.marcociappelli.com_____________________________Episode Title: The Rhythm of Storytelling: From Screenwriting to Novels with Stephen Jay SchwartzGuest: Stephen Jay SchwartzShort Intro: How does storytelling change across books, movies, and music? Stephen Jay Schwartz joins Marco to discuss the art of crafting stories that resonate across mediums.Show Notes:Storytelling is more than words on a page—it's rhythm, structure, and emotion. In this episode of Audio Signals, Marco Ciappelli welcomes back Stephen Jay Schwartz, a novelist, screenwriter, and former director of development in Hollywood. Their conversation explores the differences between writing novels and screenplays, the challenge of adapting stories across mediums, and the musicality of language in writing.What happens when a book becomes a movie? Many argue the book is always better, but is that really the case? Schwartz, having worked closely with directors and screenwriters, explains how the transition from text to film is often a process of distillation—finding the essence of a story and reshaping it to fit a new format. He shares insights from his experience in Hollywood, where screenplays often change hands and visions evolve. Does this creative transformation enhance the original work, or does it strip away its soul?The discussion then shifts to a more fundamental aspect of storytelling: rhythm. Drawing from his musical background, Schwartz describes how writing, much like composing music, involves an inherent cadence. Sentences have beats, paragraphs flow with momentum, and dialogue needs a natural tempo. Whether consciously or not, every good writer crafts their prose with a certain musicality that enhances readability and engagement.Marco and Stephen also touch on the way different minds visualize stories. Not everyone ‘sees' scenes play out in their head while reading—some need visual prompts, while others experience narrative through an auditory lens. How does this affect the way we consume stories? With attention spans shrinking, are we losing the patience for immersive storytelling in books, gravitating instead toward visually driven media?Before wrapping up, they pose a philosophical question: When is a story truly finished? Da Vinci reportedly never considered the Mona Lisa complete, and writers often feel similarly about their work. Does a story ever really end, or does it just reach a stopping point?For anyone fascinated by the intersection of storytelling, film, and music, this episode offers thought-provoking insights. Tune in for a conversation that challenges assumptions about creative processes and the evolving landscape of narrative arts._____________________________ResourcesBio, books, and more: https://www.stephenjayschwartz.com/_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsWatch the video version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQvnJ8eHUlVX8AuyhehtexAAre you interested in advertising your brand on ITSPmagazine?

The ridiculous branding that makes bad investment products sound good. Bitcoin Meets Structured Protection: The ETF that no one asked for but someone, somewhere, will buy. Hiring Your Kids for Tax Savings: A loophole with some very real fine print. How to Become a Financial Planner: Beyond certifications—why understanding people (and sales) matters. Doug's Trivia: If you could steal any piece of art, what would it be? Asking for a friend. Joe's ‘Wicked' Review: Spoiler: Wonka was better.

Let's visit the Louvre with author Elaine Sciolino. Today, we chat about her upcoming book Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum. The book pulls back the curtain on a building many think they know, but which still contains endless secrets and untold stories. And if you think you recognise Elaine's name and voice, perhaps you heard her on the pod before! Elaine, the former Paris bureau chief for The New York Times, has featured The Earful Tower in the past discussing her books about the Seine River and the Rue des Martyrs. In fact, she was the second-ever guest on the show, back in 2017. Elaine used her extensive experience as a reporter to influence how she wrote this book. She decided the best approach was to explain the Louvre museum “through the prism of someone who's not an art historian and who's not a tour guide. I decided to just report the Louvre and talk to everybody that I possibly could.” And, my goodness, the surprises Elaine uncovered will knock your socks off: spending the day with the museum's permanent on-site fire fighters, a secret World War Two bunker and long-forgotten graffiti inscribed by the builders of the Philippe Auguste wall. For Louvre novices who are in danger of having an exhausting and frustrating experience trying to see and do everything, Elaine offers this advice “Find your Louvre identity, find what kind of a visitor you are… And once you decide that it makes it a lot easier, because you forgive yourself for not being perfect…You go each time with a different identity, like you go each time and discover a different work of art.” Elaine confesses that she wasn't always the biggest fan of the museum, “the Louvre is a challenge, it's too big…it's too crowded, it's an impossible museum. You have to find your way in. So that's what I tried to do.” Having visited the building hundreds of times in the course of writing the book, I wondered if Elaine was all Louvre-d out or did she intend to go back? “Oh no, I have to go back. I have to keep going back.” Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum is released on 1 April 2025. You can pre-order it here. A fun extra the end of the episode, Bertrand d'Aleman from My Private Paris tells us about a current exhibition at the museum: The Louvre Couture. This is an exploration of how the vast breadth of decorative art contained within the walls of the museum has informed the world of high fashion. The Louvre Couture exhibition runs from 24 January - 21 July. Book your tickets here. Artwork mentioned in this episode: Mona Lisa (also known as La Joconde) by Leonardo da Vinci; Man with a glove by Titian, Portrait of a Man (also known as La Condottiere) by Antonello da Messina; The death of Marat by Jacques-Louis David.
